Gifford Grade School has decided to hold a Read-A-Thon this year! Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.
Our Read-A-Thon starts Monday January 26, 2026.
Next week, your child will be bringing home instructions on how to activate their personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress.
We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read and helps in the development of stronger reading skills.
All funds raised will be going towards a new playground!
We hope EVERYONE participates!

We are very proud of Our students, staff, and school for earning a Commendable Summative Designation on Our School Report Card for the 2024-2025 school year. This is the second highest designation from the state, indicating our school has no underperforming student groups and performance is not in the top 10% of schools statewide. We at GGS will continue to strive for the highest designation, which is exemplary.
